Intro (Explicit) - 2Pac

At 12 25 AM Wednesday

2pac was on his way into a time square

Building to record at an eight-floor

Studio with another rapper

But in the lobby

Shakur was shot several times

Including two graze wounds to the head

2pac's lawyers said the attack appeared to be a setup

Against doctors orders

Tupac Shakur checked himself

Out of the hospital less than

24 hours after being shot

5 times on the way into a

Manhattan recording studio

2pac Shakur secures one clean legal victory this year

As he's dismissed of assault charges

Brought against him when he allegedly

Shot at two off-duty Atlantic cops on

Halloween last year

The case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence

More controvery surrounding 2pac Shakur

Meanwhile in 2pac news at about 645 tonight

Shakur may have lowered his own chances of

Surviving the attack by checking himself

Out of the hospital that probably saved his life

2pac Shakur checked into the

Metropolitan hospital yesterday

Under an assumed name

His lawyers said that he had connections

But wouldn't say what kind

That could provide top notch

Security for the injured rap star

Shakur underwent surgery today

The shooting of 2pac Shakur here in

New York City once again underscores

The violence that has surrounded this

Man since he shot to superstardom

In the world of music and entertainment
